Countries can either choose their own leaders, or they cannot. If they cannot, they are usually fucked. Sometimes severely fucked. And it is very hard to fix things.

Or is this an increase compared to past generations?

Yes, because of Russian and Chinese anti-democracy propaganda on the internet.

Because dictators are many orders of magnitude worse.

How do you do that?

King Charles III isn’t my king either. Still a king though. And doing a much better job than King Charles I

And some usenet servers too while they are at it.

Do you know how to do this?

Does the inflation of goods not factor in?

[…thanks to slowing inflation]

[This job market keeps rewriting the history books.

The latest superlative: The unemployment rate has now stayed safely below 4% for two full years. The last time the unemployment rate was this low for this long, Richard Nixon was in the White House.]

It doesn’t have any connection to workers.

Someone didn’t read the article.

[The US economy added a whopping 353,000 jobs last month]

Boomers voted to hyperinflate the national debt by voting for Ronald Reagan. Boomers voted to poison our culture with Reagan’s glorification of greed whose ugly endgame was Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.

I don’t expect many lemmy servers to continue in the next six months.

LOL. I am expecting Lemmy to continue far into the future.

This is a feature, not a bug. I’m not sure how you know they are the same user, but if they do the same thing that got them blocked before, you can block them again.

Yes I very much respect the minority of conservatives who are loyal Americans instead of power mad neofascists trying to subvert our precious 245 year old democracy.

By “West Papua” do they mean the town at the extreme west end of the island or the entire western half of New Guinea?

[“I believe it’s what God wants me to do,” Lee said. "He knows what’s right and what’s wrong ]

Wow you totally got that wrong. What Yahweh wants you to do is to not spread false reports of election fraud.

You disobeyed God all 3 times here, hypocrite.

Exodus 23:1-2

"Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness.
“Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.”

Save the country. I can’t say how.

If you don’t have respect for people of every religion and every ethnic group than what are you doing in America? You are no better than Christians/White Nationalists.

I’m reading “Nazis” and I am understanding it as neocons and neolibs

Than you don’t understand Nazis. There is no such things as neolibs and neocons.

Clinton after all killed 500,000 Iraqi children

You’ll have to do better than a youtube link. I don’t watch that trash. Iran killed 500,000 children. And Iraq under Saddaam killed 500,000 children. Saddaam isn’t killing Iraqi children any more. Your welcome.

The US is complicit from vetoing the UN ceasefire

Hamas still had hundreds of hostages. Why the heck would we want a ceasefire until Hamas is gone? All the civilians of Gaza are the chief victims of Hamas. So if you don’t want Hamas gone than it sounds like YOU are anti-Palestianian.

If you don’t care about Palestinians lives -which is apparent

Gaza has lots of Christians and lots of people who are my ethnic group. So I am supposed to care about them more than any other country? I care about all lives. You caring only about people of 1 specific religion and 1 specific ethnic group sounds completely idiotic to me.

That is idiotic. But the idiotic problem the article highlights (AI’s enshitification of search results) is more serious.
